I'm also discussing guns in the gun thread. My point is that they're a tool. They shoot bullets, not people. Just like abrasive chemicals are designed to be abrasive chemicals and knives are designed to be sharp. Whether you choose to shoot targets, beer cans, neighbors, escaped convicts, or nothing is your choice. It's perfectly valid to say that the inherent risk in the tool is too high. Unfortunately, it's then subject to comparison to the risk of other tools, whether people like it or not.
